Vault 17 @ The Treddy, Gloucester (Sundays) Preview

 

The Sunday night Vault 17 at The Treddy looks set to be one of the stronger Gloucestershire events of the week, with several recent winners, finalists and in-form players among the entrants. The field contains a mix of proven title winners and players who have been threatening to make a breakthrough in recent weeks. Folow the tournament at Treddy Vault 17

At the head of the field is Rich Griffee, who arrives in outstanding form after winning at DD's Snooker & Pool Club and carrying a formidable 9W-1L record from his last 10 matches. His recent victories over Lee Andrews, Cori Wiltshire and Joe Sellick show he's capable of beating quality opposition.

Shaun Vernall is another obvious contender. The recent Widden Rugby Club champion has produced some of the strongest averages in this field and already has a Treddy title on his CV. His win over Iain Howie in a recent final underlines his credentials.

Joe Quiney has been knocking on the door consistently, reaching finals and semi-finals across the region. Having recently won at The Bengeworth and followed that up with another final appearance, he'll fancy his chances of going one step further.

Former Treddy winner Iain Howie is always dangerous in this format, while Joe Bagguley comes into the event after another tournament victory in Tewkesbury. Both have the experience and consistency to make deep runs.

Keep an eye on Cori Wiltshire, who continues to reach the latter stages of events, and Will Jackson, who has already made a Treddy final and knows exactly what it takes to go deep here.

South West Grassroots Darts Roundup – 30 May 2026

Saturday saw another busy day across the South West grassroots darts scene, with titles decided in Shaftesbury, Tewkesbury, DartAsylum HQ and beyond.

The ADC South West Bi-Monthly Open (Under 55 Average) at Shaftesbury Football Club was won by Dave Guy, who defeated Jordan Baker 3-1 in the final. Guy was the standout performer throughout the day, winning eight matches and producing three of the event's top five averages.

At DartAsylum HQ, Karen Brown lifted the Sub 55 Average Round Robin title after edging out Ray Payne 3-2 in the final. Payne topped the match-win charts with eight victories and was one of the day's most consistent performers.

Josh Walker enjoyed a successful day at the Sub 60 RR hosted by Duffryn Darts Events. Walker defeated Mark Sims 2-1 in the final, completing an impressive run that included eight match victories.

The highest average recorded in the South West events covered came in Tewkesbury, where Joe Bagguley claimed the Vault 17 title. Bagguley defeated Clive Burgess in the final and posted a superb 96.12 average during his run to the trophy.

Elsewhere, Daryl Hunt produced some excellent darts to win the Saturday Night Money In Money Out Knockout, overcoming Bobby Vickors 4-3 in a closely fought final. Hunt recorded two of the day's top three averages, including a brilliant 92.49 effort.

Progress Isn't Always Measured by Averages

 One thing I've learned over the last few months is that progress in darts isn't always reflected in your average.

If I look purely at the numbers, I'm probably still around the same mark I was a few months ago. The averages aren't suddenly jumping off the page and making headlines. However, when I look a little deeper, I can see signs that things are moving in the right direction.

I'm finding myself going deeper into tournaments more often. I'm also hitting under-21 dart legs more regularly than before. Those are the sort of things that tell me I'm improving, even if the headline average hasn't changed much.

The biggest challenge remains consistency. I can play some really good darts, but then follow them up with a frustrating spell where things don't quite click. That's probably the difference between where I am now and where I want to be.

One thing I've been working hard on is staying relaxed. In the past I've often become obsessed with focus, mechanics and trying too hard. Recently I've made a conscious effort to relax as much as possible at the oche.

It feels like it's helping.

The darts are coming out of my hand nicely and the game feels more natural. It's still a work in progress and there are plenty of days where I drift back into old habits, but I'm sticking with it because the signs are encouraging.

At the moment I'm not too worried about averages. My feeling is that if I keep working on relaxation, confidence and consistency, the averages will eventually look after themselves.

The first half of the year has been about laying foundations. Hopefully the second half of the year is where we start to see those improvements show up on the scoreboard as well.

As always, the journey continues

Is It Time For A "True Average" In Darts?

 

After chatting with a few of my darts friends recently, we ended up discussing one of the most common statistics in the game – the average.

The more I think about it, the more I believe averages can sometimes be misleading.

Don't get me wrong, I still use averages and think they are useful as a rough guide. But I don't believe they always tell the full story.

Take a match where both players get stuck on double one for several visits. The average can suddenly collapse, even though neither player was actually throwing badly for most of the leg. Once you've had several turns at a stubborn double, it's almost impossible to recover to a respectable average.

On the other hand, if you're playing a professional-level player, there's a good chance your average will naturally rise. Why? Because they tend to leave cleaner finishes and finish legs more efficiently, meaning there are fewer low-scoring visits around the doubles.

So here's an idea I've been thinking about: a "True Average".

The concept is simple.

Take all of your match averages from a tournament.

Split them into three equal groups:

- Lowest third

- Middle third

- Highest third

Then remove the highest third and the lowest third.

The remaining middle third becomes your True Average.

The theory is that this removes both the exceptionally good performances and the exceptionally bad performances, leaving a figure that better represents your normal standard.

For example, imagine a player records the following nine match averages in a tournament:

41.2, 48.5, 52.0, 55.1, 57.8, 59.4, 62.3, 70.5, 81.7

The standard tournament average would be:

58.7

Now split them into thirds:

Lowest third:

41.2, 48.5, 52.0

Middle third:

55.1, 57.8, 59.4

Highest third:

62.3, 70.5, 81.7

Discard the highest and lowest thirds.

Average the middle three numbers:

55.1 + 57.8 + 59.4 = 172.3

172.3 ÷ 3 = 57.4

So:

Tournament Average: 58.7

True Average: 57.4

In this example, the player had one very strong performance (81.7) which inflated the normal average slightly. The True Average gives a figure that may be closer to their typical level.

Would it replace traditional averages? Probably not.

But as an additional statistic, I think it could be a really useful way of measuring consistency and identifying a player's genuine standard over time.

I'd be interested to hear what other players think. Is there room in darts for a True Average?

Tonight's Preview Game 29th May 2026

 

Princess Royal Open – Taunton Preview

The Princess Royal Open has attracted a strong local field, with several players arriving in excellent form and plenty of recent pedigree in Taunton events.

Steve Boundy heads into the tournament full of confidence after recent title-winning performances in Portishead and Winscombe. His recent 8W-2L form line makes him one of the players to beat.

Kieran Spurdle is another contender carrying winning form, having recently won the Pegasus Friday Round Robin and reached the final of Jack's Birthday Bash. He has also recorded notable victories over Darren Herbert and Bailey White.

C-Jay Pipe has been one of the most consistent performers in the area. Recent victories at the Ring of Bells and Railway Inn, plus another final appearance at the Queens Arms, make him a genuine title threat tonight.

Darren Herbert arrives after lifting a Vault 17 title at Pegasus 68 Club and boasts one of the strongest averages in the field. His recent 8W-2L form suggests he could go deep again.

Keep an eye on Steve Donohue, who has made recent semi-finals in Taunton events, and Brooklyn Anthony, whose Super Series performances continue to improve. Both are capable of causing an upset if they find their best darts.

Q4QS Baltic Sea Darts Open Preview 29th-31st May 2026

 While Quest for Q School mainly focuses on grassroots darts around Bristol and the South West, the database itself also contains a mix of PDC, Challenge Tour, Development Tour and international federation data.

With the Baltic Sea Darts Open taking place this weekend, I thought it would be interesting to run the current field through the Q4QS database and share some of the outputs ahead of the tournament.

Wessel Nijman currently heads the latest Q4QS rankings, with Chris Dobey and Kevin Doets also rating strongly based on recent performances across multiple events in the database. Mike De Decker and Gian van Veen also continue to impress with strong recent form heading into the weekend.

Sebastian Bialecki and Niko Springer appear among the most interesting rising names in the field, while experienced players such as Danny Noppert, Damon Heta and Jermaine Wattimena remain firmly in the mix.

As always, these previews are intended as a fun data-based look at the event, and it will be interesting to see how the current rankings perform over the course of the weekend. 🎯

Tonight's Preview 28th May

 PLaying at my home veune, I was looking at some stats, so thought I'd post about a competition I'm actually playing in. Tonight’s Thursday Night Round Robin at DartAsylum HQ features a mix of established regulars, recent finalists and several players carrying strong recent form into the event. Owen Smith heads the Q4QS rankings after another impressive run at Hangar61, while Joe Sellick continues to look dangerous following recent semi-final and finalist appearances across Bristol events.

Dan Cornes and Tommy Sperring both arrive with strong recent records at DartAsylum competitions, while Charlie Grabham continues to improve rapidly after recent JDC success and multiple deep runs in adult events. Tamas Soltesz remains one of the most experienced players in the field and is always capable of long runs despite mixed recent results.

Several familiar rivalries could also be renewed tonight, particularly involving players who regularly meet at DartAsylum and Hangar61 events. With recent winners, finalists and improving players all in the same draw, another competitive Thursday night looks likely. 🎯

Tonights Tournament Preview

Vault 17 - North Star - Calne Vault17 Calne

Josh McCarthy heads into Monday night as the clear form player after multiple recent title-winning performances in the database, including a superb 89.98 event average during his latest North Star Club victory. His recent wins over Rich Griffee, Cori Wiltshire and Samuel King underline just how dangerous he currently looks.

Lee Andrews continues to threaten after recent success at Lockleaze Community Club and another strong run at the £500 Open Round Robin event, where he recorded a notable victory over Paul Meyer before eventually falling in the quarter-finals.

Elsewhere, Mitch McCarthy and Samuel King both arrive with recent finalist appearances on their records, while Cori Wiltshire continues to produce dangerous scoring performances across both Bristol and Gloucestershire events.

Several local rivalries could also be renewed throughout the evening, particularly involving players who have already traded victories over recent weeks at North Star Club events. 🎯

24th May Tonight's Previews

 Two tournaments previewd tonight - The Open Round Robin in Weston Super Mare and The Vault tournament at Ring O' Bells, Taunton

Open RR - Weston Super Mare Open RR Weston

A strong-looking Weston-super-Mare field tonight, with plenty of storylines beyond the rankings.

Luke Harding arrives after another run of deep finishes, while Ricky Harding brings recent title-winning form and a 9W-1L record across his last 10 logged matches.

Steve Boundy and Warren Ryan add an interesting rivalry angle after recent Six Week Series battles, while Logun Godbeer has already shown he can trouble strong names when his scoring clicks.

Wayne Harding is another one to watch after recently reaching a final before being stopped by Ricky Harding 🎯

Vault 17 Ring O Bells Taunton    Vault 17

Andy Steed heads into tonight’s Taunton event in outstanding recent form after back-to-back title-winning performances at Pegasus 68, including an 83.94 event average during one of those runs.

Jack Walker and C-Jay Pipe also arrive with strong momentum after recent tournament victories, while Dan Davies continues to threaten after another deep run that included wins over Lewis Kendall and Matt Tremlett.

James Male and Ashley Howe add further strength to the field, with both players producing notable recent results across Somerset and Bristol events, while Ryan Greenslade and Jack Davey renew a recent rivalry after meeting in the Taunton U70 RR Super Series final 🎯

Introducing Q4QS Player Profiles

 One of the major aims of the Q4QS project is to go beyond basic averages and win/loss records to create deeper player profiles and performance insights across the grassroots darts scene.

These profiles are designed to bring together rankings, form, venue history, head-to-head records and performance trends into one place, helping to tell the story behind the players and tournaments rather than simply listing results.

The screenshots below are just a few early examples of the type of stats and graphics the database will eventually provide. There is still a huge amount to build and improve — including more venues, player history, tournament previews, reports, rankings and future coverage stretching beyond the South West into selected PDC and WDF events.

Still very much a work in progress, but excited to finally start sharing some of the early stages of the project 🎯

Welcome back to Quest for Q School 🎯

 Over the last few months I’ve been building a grassroots darts database project tracking tournament results, averages, rankings, recent form and player history across the South West darts scene — with plans to gradually expand beyond the region over time.

The aim is to create stats-driven rankings, tournament previews, player spotlights and tournament reports covering local darts, while eventually also expanding into selected PDC and WDF events.

The site aesthetics and features will continue improving as the project develops, so keep checking back as more venues, tournaments, rankings and content are added over the coming months.

Still very much in testing phase, but excited to finally start sharing some of the early preview and rankings content 🎯
